Arkansas took a train trip to play a Texas team in 1908, when getting off the train the coach of Arkansas heard a local call out to the effect there are the Razorbacks from Arkansas. In 1909 that coach had the nickname of Arkansas changed to Razorbacks.
Do you have a link for this because I don't think that's accurate.

Coach Hugo Bezdek Arkansas team traveled to play Texas in Austin on November 2 1908, it is on that trip the local called out the Razorback name.
The team changed nicknames in the off season between 08-09 season.
The story is in a number of newspapers from that time.
Check the Memphis, Little Rock and Nashville papers. The Mephis paper has a great writer who covered Arkansas at that time, as well as western Tennessee football. That writer watched the LSU-Arkansas game of 1908.
